finding balance through creativity

I won something

seriously… I can’t believe it. I’ve had them on my bloglines for a while and occasionally I’ll be smitten with something they put up and join the contest to win it. I nearly died when I got an e-mail today saying won this. Gorgeous. I can’t wait to get it!!!!

And in comment news… THANK YOU all for commenting on my last post. Wow. I think I’m frequently conflicted about blogging because my initial reason for blogging was to seek out a sense of community – simply put I wanted friends and I needed people to like me. I was in a pretty crummy place and feeling rather alone. I wanted to edge my way into the blogging community to draw people to me. Little did I know I would be so drawn to other people and their blogs. And when old friends started blogging too, it became a way to stay abreast of the goings on of their lives. And then it became an outlet for writing, my true craft. I guess that is the most important confession of this lazy knitter to date.
